GoY Update: Help around the site

Just to keep you up to date, you might start seeing some extra help links about the site. If you’re already familiar with GoY you probably won’t need them, but we’re adding hints and tips where we sometimes see confusion.

If there’s an area of the site where you think help would be useful, please let us know.

Rather than taking you to a new screen, these tips are shown over the top of a GoY page to avoid getting disoriented.

Two of the first ones we’ve added are an explanation of why you can edit recent comments, and an explanation of how to say ‘thanks’ for an answer. If you want to see an example, look just under the answers to a question.

These are two queries we get quite often so we hope they’ll make GoY easier for new comers to the site.

Great idea, Peter, especially the thanks explanation. I take it that it's because of all the "questions" lately that were really thanks for undecipherable help from unknown people? Anyway, I'll probably learn something, too!

Is there any way to attach a photo to a REPLY to a question? There's a button to the right of the question/answer page for uploading a photo but when you do this, the picture doesn't seem to appear. I'm confused.

Wish I had spotted this before! I think May must have been a bit of a 'no no' month or something. I managed to lose 3 months' emails from Outlook Express during it. All gone from 18/ 03 - 01/ 06 at the touch of a button. Howzat?
Anyway, I've started a new folder for 'tips on GoY' and it is growing fast. Thanks.
